Newly released video shows a straphanger struggling to hold onto his backpack after being stabbed by a vicious robber on a Manhattan train, according to cops.
The 34-year-old victim was on a southbound F train that was approaching the 34th Street-Herald Square Station in Midtown around 10 p.m. Nov. 22 when the suspect asked for a cigarette, cops said.
The victim was trying to give the man a smoke when the brute tried to steal cash from him instead, cops said. A struggle ensued, and the robber stabbed his victim in the torso with a sharp object.
